Circles and Squares

Went running with Nicole and Anya at BPA. It was AWESOME-- Nicole got to run and I'm so HAPPY for her, I'm also super HAPPY for Anya who is kicking butt on her mileage goals. It aboslutly the greatest to run with other postive, motivated women -- I am very lucky. I hate hills but I feels such a sense of accomplishment with even the slight increase in elevation!!! So I LOVE BPA!!!!! It is also very warm here and it smells very woodsy, so many people and different things to do. BPA is a place you could go and lose all day just exploring and checking out playgrounds. It's truly hard to belive that its just blocks from the booming metopolis of Pacific Highway!!!

I should have ran today it was in my plan but I sabotaged myself. I din't eat after lunch so by the time I got off work I was STARVING and ate immediatly, resulting in feeling full and not very motivated for anything but T.V. fo rthe rest of the night! :(

I think I am going to have to make it a point to have a good non fiber filled snack at 2 or 3 every day so this doesn't happen every week!

Ran the Golf Course Loop, super slow and nice--- I felt really good. Unofrtunatly first thing out of the driveway I fell, I actually lasoed my left foot with the ginormous loop in my right shoe lace. It was a tumble that has my shoulder, hip and knee banged up. I took a minute to assess the situation, I was kind of worried that I might have hurt my little hitch hiker but I didn't land on my stomache and I could walk so I decided to go running anyway. It actually hurt allot worse to not run than it did to run. When I got home I realized that I couldn't bend my leg all they way and that I had wripped my pants-- I iced it for 30 minutes and its much better but still not ideal. I'm sure it's not serious but I still don't like that every time I move I'm like "OUCH!". I know my shoelace contributed to my fall, but I also wonder if it has anything to do with pregnancy. I know I have read quite abit about being careful because my center of gravity is having to shift and adjust for my new "wide load" status. Today I felt bigger than ever- especially up front, My reactions are much slower too latley...

I don't know why I have taken such a break from this blog, it's so nice to see the miles and look back at your progress. I will try to get back into this. I do really enjoy know the totals and looking in on friends as well as race reports!

Awesome run with Nicole and Anya. I walked up some of the hills and just wasn't my best. But I still had a good time enjoyed being in the sun with freinds.  

Jeff and I ran to my work to get the car after he picked me up yesterday. It was so hot out 73 degrees, I could feel my skin burn and sweat dripping. I'm not used to that at all:) I feel kind of discombobulated and I was beyond slow, oh well-- felt good to be moving.

Jeff and I did the Golf Course Loop and then took the dogs to the park and ran them around until they were exhausted. It was awesome--- it would be so great if Jeff wanted to run alot... he is so sweet to go with me and he ran slow enough so that we could talk(thats new normally when I drag him out he runs ahead of me in hopes of inspiring me to get faster maybe) Amazing  morning!!!I feel so happy!

Ran two slow miles with Jeff on Green River Trail--- I think he likes running:) I really wish we worked the same schedule, its ging to be sad when he is done with vacation and I don't get to see him anymore:( 

I also purchased 3 empire waist tanks from Champion and can't wait until they get here!!!!! I think I will love the feeling of not having something tight wrapped around my big belly:)

Out and back to the park on Russel Road. Its getting much harder to be away from a bathroom... but still nice and I definitly enjoy ythe clean air. Jeff went with me again and we talked while we ran so it was a very comfortable pace for me. I think running is growing on Jeff, I really think he enjoys it. :) 

I had to edit the distance here, I was off by .2 miles but easy fix.

Short run. It was nice out, and cool.

I think I may have been jet lagged from the previous weekend but I have also upped my iron ans I feel wayyyy better:)

Golf course loop. Rainy but very nice-- I walked every 10 minutes or so for a minute or so, I still made good time-- I'm suprised 45 minutes:)
